Build Each Other Up

Scripture:

Jude 20 "But you, dear friends, must build each other up in you most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit".

Observation:

Jude is a letter written to expose false teachers who had come into the church. These people were living immoral lives and teaching that it was okay because of the grace of God. Jude tells them the answer to this problem. He tells them to build each other up in the most holy faith, praying in the power of the Spirit.

Application:

We must be about the business of edifying others instead of tearing them down. God's people need strengthened in their faith, not weakened. As believers, we need to be about building people up in the faith and about praying in the power of the Holy Spirit. When we pray in the Spirit, we are praying the perfect will of God for the situation. When we don't know what to pray, the Spirit will pray through us. We need to be people who are always building up others and praying in the power of the Spirit.

Prayer:

Father, help me to be a builder and not a wrecking crew. Let my faith affect other people'e faith in a positive way. Help me build Your body strong. Let me pray more in the power of the Spirit and less in my own opinions and desires.

Yours,

Jeff
